I use Pi-Hole and works great. I've heard about AdGuard and seems the same thing as PiHole, but you have to install an app/extension. Everyone in this community recommend NextDNS. Whats the difference between them?

I was planning to use UnBound as my recursive resolver with Blocky behind it. As for filtering by IP, multiple instances with some simple Network ACLs should do the trick. Thanks for the idea.

The problem with UnBound is that it doesn't use TLS whilst connecting and communicating to root servers and the like. TBH your idea of using a VPN seems excellent with my use-case, and if I rotate my VPN server every now and then my ISP along with other trackers might just be lost trying to find and correlate my DNS queries to my identity. Thanks again, I need to think more about this.
